Erythritol
Calorie-Free: Erythritol delivers sweetening properties without contributing to caloric intake, making it well-suited for low-calorie and sugar-free formulations.
Diabetic-Friendly: It exerts no glycemic or insulin response, rendering it a safe sweetening option for individuals with diabetes.
Dental Safety: As a non-fermentable and non-cariogenic sweetener, erythritol does not promote tooth decay and supports oral health.
Natural Origin: Naturally present in various fruits and fermented foods, it is generally well-tolerated and does not typically cause gastrointestinal discomfort.
Erythritol is a zero-calorie bulk sweetener with a clean, sweet taste, suitable for a wide range of sugar-free and reduced-calorie food and beverage products. Naturally present in various fruits and fermented foods, it has been safely consumed by humans for thousands of years. Erythritol exhibits excellent digestive tolerance and induces no glycemic or insulin response, making it appropriate for use by diabetic individuals. Furthermore, it is non-cariogenic and does not promote tooth decay.
